IVE’s 2025 Achievements Cement Their Status
IVE’s wins at TMA 2025 cap off a remarkable year of chart-topping success. They began 2025 with Rebel Heart, which achieved a perfect all-kill across major Korean music charts.

Their momentum did not stop there. In August, they released IVE SECRET, with title track XOXZ topping all three major network music shows. This reinforced their reputation as one of K-pop’s most consistent hitmakers.
IVE Expand Global Reach and Excite Fans for 2025
Beyond Korea, IVE took their music to some of the biggest stages in the world. They performed at Lollapalooza Berlin and Paris, and made their debut at Japan’s legendary Rock in Japan Festival 2025. Each performance attracted new listeners and expanded their growing international fanbase.
Their cultural impact is also measurable. According to the Korea Reputation Research Institute, IVE ranked first in both girl group and idol brand reputation for September. These results prove that IVE’s influence now stretches far beyond music, shaping trends and conversations across the entertainment world.
Fans on theqoo community flooded threads with praise after IVE’s TMA 2025 stage. Many commented on the opening walk during Attitude, saying it was cinematic and unforgettable. Excitement is already building to see how the group will top themselves during their upcoming world tour.
